I’m 23 and have just ended a six month relationship. I’ve just been promoted at work to a post where there’s a lot of travel.Thinking through what ‘sex’ means can help you identify what you do/don’t want to experience. It could mean masturbation alone or with a partner. It could involve exploring fantasy/role play, fetish, BDSM, phone or text sex with someone else, writing a diary or blog, or filming/photographing yourself (which you may want to keep private or share).You may want to explore same sex relationships either in fantasy or real life.Finally, don’t forget while you are exploring different sexual options that friendships can also be fulfilling, as may be hobbies, courses and other things you might like to try now that you have the time and space to do so.Petra Boynton is a social psychologist and sex researcher working in International Health Care at University College London.
